Dental Bridges in Gramercy Park, NYC

Missing teeth are a damaging issue both aesthetically and practically. The gap left in your mouth is unappealing and can lead to chronic pain, jawbone morphing, and even infection. Losing teeth may also affect how you eat, drink, talk, and live your everyday life. 

Dental bridges are one of the easiest ways to fix the problems presented by missing teeth. Dental bridges “bridge” the gap where the tooth once was, restoring your shining smile and oral functionality. For dental bridges in Gramercy Park, NYC, and the surrounding neighborhoods, call Lux Smiles at (212) 777-7126.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges work by holding a replacement tooth in the gap created by your missing tooth or teeth. On either side of the false tooth, dental crowns on top of your adjacent teeth support the bridge and hold the artificial replacement tooth in place. The result is a strong system that allows you to live as if you never lost a tooth.

Dental bridges provide several other benefits that make them a desirable option for filling a missing tooth gap, including the following:

  • Restoration of a firm bite and facial structure
  • The ability to speak smoothly
  • A fixed appliance that doesn’t require nightly removal
  • An aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking smile

Different Types of Dental Bridges

Dental Implant Support

If you have a gap where more than one tooth is missing, our Lux Smiles dentists may utilize dental implants. In this method, dental crowns attach to the dental implants rather than your natural teeth to provide extra support for the dental bridge.

While placing dental implants to stabilize the dental bridge results in a robust system, the duration of surgery is a downside. Since dentists must surgically place the implants, you won’t have the final dental bridge for at least five months. If you have severe pain and require a more immediate solution, this may not be your best option.

Cantilever Bridges

Unlike typical dental bridges, Cantilever bridges connect to a single crown. Our dentists often use these bridges when patients only have adjacent natural teeth on one side of the missing tooth. The dome attaches to the natural teeth, and the dental bridge extends horizontally to fill the gap with a prosthetic tooth. 

Maryland Bridges

Maryland bridges are a unique type of bridge as they don’t utilize any dental crowns. Instead, the replacement tooth has extensions that attach to the back of the teeth and hold the tooth in place. As dentists don’t place crowns on the natural teeth, Maryland bridges eliminate the need to file healthy tooth enamel.

All the staff was super nice and helpful -- front desk, hygienist. Dr. Khalife was very chill and kind; didn't even make me feel like a failure for having a cavity! (I swear I do all the things!) 10/10 would recommend Lux for all your teeth scraping needs.

I’ve been coming to this dentist office for quite some time - no matter what dentist I’ve worked with, they’ve always been phenomenal! They’re very good with pain management and understand that no one wants to do unneeded dental work. I’d give them 6 starts if possible.

Had a very positive experience every time I've gone to Lux Smiles. The office staff are very friendly and make you feel welcomed. The treatments were simple and Stacy was very helpful exploring options for me with a problem that I was having. I would happily recommend this dentist for general oral care.

Best dental office in NYC! I've been a patient for ten years and every experience has been positive (as positive as going to the dentist can be). Dr. Shin is kind and caring. Takes special care to be sure his patients are comfortable. The staff is amazing. Roseanne is the greatest! Nataliya is always so kind and gives every cleaning the utmost care. I've had a lot of dental issues in my life, and have been in good hands here. Between Dr. Shin, Nataliya, Roseanne, and formerly Dr. Kessler, I've always been pleased and would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
